Army of the Ozone Skip

Random ramblings from an amateur rock-n-roll historian and critic,self-professed bourbon aficionado, blackberry growin', jam makin', sometime tie-die shirt makin', ex hippie wannabe, turned punk rock lovein', blues festival going, middle aged pudgy bald white guy who loves to wear Hawaiian shirts in the summertime and happens to be more Stax than Motown, more Alman Brothers than Skynard, more Stones than Beatles, more NASCAR than Baseball, more freeware than license keys...

"Up Ahead"

just up ahead

there's a new world

waitin' for us

just around the bend

there are blue skies

stretchin' out far and wide

there in the mirror

are the struggles

we left behind

deadlines and bills

chaos and stress

never enough time

see those distant peaks

glistenin' in the sun

they're callin' out to us

my love

and the adventure's

just begun

"Up Ahead" by Michael Traveler
